2015 Giro d'Italia Stage 15: Marostica–Madonna di Campiglio

[trevim]

I don't know what this is all about there's 3 Tinkoff guys at the front

 

[markene2]

Ryder motors away

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

JvdB cannot follow Hesjedal. Looks bleak for his top 10th place

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Hesjedal should get a penalty just for wearing those ugly glasses.

Re:

Guess i was wrong. Martinelli truly is a Contador fanboy. How embarrasing.

 

[Alcanelo]

Chapeau Ryder

Re:

Why isn't Monfort help VandenBroeck

It's not worth the effort probably

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

stop saying Zeits. It is Rosa ...

 

[rainman]

Re:

Astana must think Contador is still riding for them.

They have managed to isolate him, otherwise pointless

 

[Flamin]

Re: Re:

Vandenbroeck is going to lose minutes

it would suck big time if it was because he got held up by the Anton-Kreuziger incident.

if he's in form he must be able to gain some time on quite a lot of riders of the front group...

True. But he lost 2 min while he could have been just following wheels on the flattish part.

Edit: but whatever, he can't follow Hesjedal so doesn't matter.

Kruiswijk is still gonna top 10 I think, he's at least the 3rd best rider in the race that isn't paid from Kazakh oil money

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Re:

Why isn't Monfort help VandenBroeck

Because Monfort himself is in 11th place and can move up to 8th i think

 

[trevim]

Shouldn't the Astana start to be dropping himselves with all the work?!

Re:

Nah, they don't want to leave Contador without domestiques too early

 

[Rollthedice]

The difference between Astana Postal and U Sky PS is that Astana can't drop anybody of some importance.

Re:

If he keeps up this form, he certainly might. Not going to happen today just yet I think.

Vino is in the team car with a machete in case they do.

 

[Red Rick]

Meanwhile, Jesus Hernandez is trying really hard to convince himself that he would've been there had he ridden the Giro

 

[Miburo]

Aru just told landa to attack i think

 

[Kwibus]

Landa and Aru discussing their plans,

 

[ILovecycling]

Lol they should better start doing something

Re:

4 and 5 in GC are gone which, alongside the stage victory, is what they could have hoped for (well, maybe dropping Amador as well).

 

[GuyIncognito]

Caruso was yo-yoing off the back the whole of the previous climb. Is that him in the group or a teammate?
If it's him he's recovered amazingly well.

Can't really be anyone else though. Too tall to be Atapuma.

Re:

It wouldn't surprise me, he was there at the end of the mountain stages of the Vuelta last season

 

[Anderis]

I don't think Hesjedal's move makes much sense. He is burning too much energy on low gradient. But we will see at the end of the day.
